  <br><a name="rules"></a><b>Rules of Thumb</b><br>
     <p>The following should be observed when updating the calendar online:<br><br>
  	-- The calendar_data.xls file is formatted as text!  Please ensure the text format is applied to all fields, otherwise updates may break!<br>
  	-- Pay attention to formatting errors and fix them as opposed to committing them to the database.<br>
  	-- Report format validation errors and errors in general to the developers.<br>
	-- List items that do not exist in the spreadsheet will be committed to the database, but may not behave as expected on the server.  Be sure to
	   involove developers if the Atlanta Meeting Format needs to be changed.  This also applies to the addition of new fields or list data in fields.<br>
  	-- Backup your work!  Backups are crucial.  Please ensure to maintain a copy of the spreadsheet off site on floppy disk, in an email account, and
	   any other safe place.  It never hurts to have multiple backups.<br>
